| What does the audio term 'air' mean? I feel the same... I have read reviewers who love speakers that produce a black background. I have no idea if they are talking about what I am talking about, but I see these two attributes in opposition. When I go to any kind of concert, classic... | |

| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical My point is dac differences exist not only because of different design "per se", But also by the synergy with other gear pieces... The same dac paired with different gear may be judged differently... Add to that the complex and huge variations ... | |

| Integrated that blew you away It look wonderful and i like the appearence... With which other amplifier had you compared it before ? I really enjoy my Roger’s High Fidelity EHF 200 Mark II integrated. It’s very powerful at 100+ watts / channel in full class A operation ... | |
| Integrated that blew you away There it is. No way a 15 year old IA purchased for $600 will sound as good as the Current design $5000 IA. Apples for Oranges period! You should start your own thread then, instead of derailing this one. You are a bit rude boy for a newcom... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system For any system under some price,it is impossible to go without equalization and tone controls... Analog is better S.Q. /price ratio... I had no experience with very high end... | |
| Integrated that blew you away What may be interesting if we rephrase the OP question is not " what integrated blew me away" but what integrated blew me away for the ratio S.Q. /price paid... Anybody with open budget can buy an integrated designed without limit of cost... ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system My first acoustic dedicated room takes me 2 years full time to make... (100 Helmholtz resonators among many others devices) I sold my house 2 years ago by obligation... My second dedicated room is smaller and not comparable to the first, goo... | |
